Service Providers

We work with Service Providers that carry out certain functions on our behalf.  These include, for example, companies that help us with customer care services, network and technology services, storing and combining data, processing payments and managing subscriptions, sourcing adverts that are relevant to the SmartFrame Images and the location where they are viewed, evaluating whether the websites where we serve adverts are appropriate for the advertised brand, detecting whether visitors to the websites where we have SmartFrame Images are real or are automated bots. We only share personal data that enable our Service Providers to provide their services.

Sharing personal data with other organisations

We may share personal data with other organisations in the following circumstances:

• If we are engaged by a partner to provide our SmartFrame technology as part of their offering and we need to work together to deliver a service to you, respond to your queries, or you have given us your consent for such sharing;
• if the law or a public authority says we must share the personal data;
• if we need to share personal data in order to establish, exercise or defend our legal rights (this includes providing personal data to others for the purposes of preventing fraud); or
• to an organisation we sell or transfer (or enter into negotiations to sell or transfer) any of our businesses or any of our rights or obligations under any agreement we may have with you. If the transfer or sale goes ahead, the organisation receiving your personal data can use your personal data in the same way as us.

Your personal data won’t be kept longer than necessary, giving due regard to: initial purpose of collection; age of data; any legal/regulatory reason for us to keep it; and whether needed to protect you or us. If requested, we will readily make information available about our data retention policy.

Right to complain to the data protection regulator 

We’d like the chance to resolve any complaints you have, however you also have the right to complain to the data protection regulator in the UK or EEA country where you receive our Services or access our product, about our use of your personal data.

We only share anonymised data for non-targeted ad revenue

As described in the Sharing personal data with Service Providers and other Organisations section of this Policy, we do share personal data with our Service Providers who source relevant but non-targeted adverts that are required to enable the ad functionality of our SmartFrame technology.  In relation to any adverts that we source, we only share anonymised IP addresses and only the location information where a SmartFrame Image is being viewed is transmitted. As this information is shared in an anonymised format it cannot be used to identify an individual. 

We are not selling your personal information

The information we share with our service providers who source our adverts is necessary for our business purpose of having our SmartFrame technology being fully enabled for a SmartFrame Image.  We only share information for this business purpose to the service providers that source our adverts and we neither sell or use the information beyond what is necessary for this purpose.

This Policy complements and does not replace national data protection laws.  Any applicable national data protection law will supersede this Policy where such law imposes stronger requirements and this policy shall apply where there are no national data protection laws.

If you have any questions about how we collect, store and use personal data please contact us.
